A potential Alcaraz - Bublik 3rd round will likely produce as many dropshots, lobs, unorthodox shots and weird shenanigans as you can fit in three sets.

Ah, one guy away from having the exact same predictions. I have De Minaur defeated by Sinner in QF

Great analysis as always, and looking forward to a pretty open tournament. The top 4 seeds are very strong but have been given different lucks : Djokovic’s and Sinner’s sections especially are cakewalk-y, while Alcaraz could face some tricks and Medvedev is in hell with maybe the worst possible R3 opponent of the bunch (if he makes it), worst R4, and worst QF. If something cracks, I think it’s Medvedev’s quarter.

Looks like Sinner has added weight to his racket https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41zx3yMbQDw

could this be his ticket to the final?

He's had that for a long time though :)

Low bouncing conditions will test Alcaraz' second serve. If the Ad-side kick is not an option, it will be interesting to see if he's adapted a bit in the off season.

Feel like fluffy balls plays into his hands a little; he has the fire power to hit through it. Also didn’t need that serve at Wimbledon

Good point about Wimbledon. Hopefully he can cut the ball more and keep it out of opponents stroke zone.

Biggest upset I can see is Botic defeating Sinner. Botic can really crush it with both sides and give Sinner a lack of time to unwind.

Yeah he's his toughest player for the first week I would think.
